Halloween was a lot of fun. Leah and I went to the Apple Butter festival in Kimmswick and she got me started on the italian charm braclets that have been the fad for a long time. I never really had any intrest in them but the Apple Butter festival had LOTS of booths with these silly charms so I have bought a bunch of them. I bought all my childrens names and will have to order my hubbies name since he has an unusual name, I bought a Korean flag one for me and for my mom. A republican elephant, I love scrapbooking, I love my hubby, and an angel charm. We had a great time just wandering around the festival then we went to her sister in laws. When I got home we carved all the kids pumpkins. My oldest did his own and it turned out great. He did a wonderful job. The other 3 helped out with theirs and they all ended up really neat. We took the kids trick or treating in the neighborhood and then we took them up to the rehab center to see my grandpa and to my grandparents house to see my grandma. They had a great time and got a lot of candy. We also have a LOT left over since there were not all that many kids from the neighborhood. I will add pictures of stuff when I get a chance.
I finally got a chance to help out with the Bush.CHeney campaign on Friday night. It was for a couple of hours and was really neat. I made over 160 calls in about 2 1/2 hours. The precentage of ppl that I actually talked to were Bush supporters and only a few were hang ups. It was really a cool experience and I hope to get to do more at some point. DONT FORGET TO GET OUT AND VOTE TOMORROW!!!! :o) GOOOO BUSH!!!!!
Well on a sad note, the funeral for my friend is today. I talked to my girlfriend that went to the viewing yesterday and she said it was really sad to see our friend in the state she was in. It will be like a neighborhood reunion. Most of us have stayed in touch and if we havent then we have heard about the other from someone else that has stayed in touch. Its amazing to think we all grew up together and still stay in touch and still care about one another. Even after all these years. Well, I have to get ready for the funeral. I will update later when I get a chance.
